Shop and Confess Contest – $33,000 in prizes!

by

I’ve just learned of an interesting contest contest being held by ebillme.com, the company that makes it easy to do your online shopping with cash instead of using credit cards.

So what is this contest all about? Well, they want you to submit either a video or a text shopping confession. It seems like a fun contest and they sure have a lot of great prizes! They are giving away $1,500 every month and have a grand prize of $15,000! Imagine what you could do with either of those cash prizes!

Just get creative and either make a video or write an article about an interesting shopping experience. Perhaps the time you secretly bought a gift for a loved one and how you surprised them with it? Maybe a story about buying your wedding dress or getting an engagement ring for your fiancee? Use your imagination – I’m sure you have an interesting shopping confession to talk about.

Here – take a look at this video for contest details:

What are you waiting for? Go register for the contest and PLEASE do me a favor and tell them blog.triciaswaterdragon.com referred you! I can win a prize if I’m able to refer a lot of people, but you need to tell them my site address! Thanks!





My neighbors Halloween yard decorations

by

A few years ago I noticed that one of my neighbors had really gone all out and decorated their whole front yard for Halloween.

Faster than you can blink I had my camera out and I took a series of Halloween pictures.

These are a few of the decorations in my neighbors yard, and yes, they did their property up again this year, with a few changes of course.

bottled heads!
Bottled head!

and then there’s the Mummy?

The mommy
The Mummy!

I hope that you’re having a great Halloween! What are your plans?

Too many weight loss commercials lately

by

It seems that pretty much everything I look at these days has some kind of article or advertisement for weight loss products. I don’t know how many times a day I see Marie Osmond’s advertisement for Nutrisystem! Depending how long I’ve got the TV on each day I guess I see that commercial between five and maybe 15 times a day!

Maybe the commercials and ads are just standing out a little more as I’ve been thinking about the few extra pounds I’ve gained lately. it’s not easy having a chronic disease (Crohn’s). You become less active when you aren’t feeling well or in pain and the next thing you know you’ve gained some weight. It sucks.

One of the weight loss supplements I’ve been hearing about lately is alli diet pills. They apparently help reduce the amount of fat that your body absorbs. Back in the early 90’s I used to work in a pain clinic and one of the patients was taking a diet pill that sounded very similar to Alli, maybe it was Alli or a predecessor to the drug. Anyway … I don’t think she reduced her fat intake because the pills ended up causing problems for her. I guess they gave her the runs! I don’t know if Alli can do that to you or not .. hopefully they’ve overcome that problem.

Have you noticed an increase in weight loss ads or commercials? Maybe the companies that specialize in weight loss diets and supplements are stepping up their game since the holiday season is near. Everyone wants to look good for the holidays, don’t they?

My favorite magazines seem to be just filled with ads

by

Doesn’t it seem like there’s more ads in magazines than there used to be?

There’s a few magazines that I subscribed to each month and I’d swear that in the past there used to be more articles than advertising, but lately it seems the opposite is true. I gave up on some magazines like Vogue and others like it in the past because the first 40 or 50 pages were all ads, now I think I might dump some of the mags I’m subscribed to for that reason.

Ads that are related to the magazines topic are ok to some degree, but I find that there’s ads for just about everything in some of the magazines lately. One that I was just reading had ads for perfumes mixed with ads for the best fat burners, stool softeners and health insurance all mixed together between fashion layouts and articles about the latest cosmetics.

Maybe I should just start reading the internet version of my favorite magazines. I’ll still see ads, but it’s not quite the same.
